Summary
After days of seemingly endless torture in the Sun-Ring, Aloy wakes in an unfamiliar room, barely conscious and torn apart by her wounds.
And there, standing over her, is the last person she ever expected to see—Helis, the man who condemned her to die.
Forced to share her recovery with the man who murdered her father, Aloy must grapple not only with her physical pain, but with the ghosts of betrayal, hatred... and something far more dangerous.
Can time heal all wounds—or are some scars never meant to fade?A slow burn between Helis and Aloy, with heavy Zero Dawn spoilers and major plot deviations. If you're into enemies-to-something-more and emotionally intense dynamics, you're in the right place. Enjoy!

Summary
Aloy never asked to be shunned, ridiculed and outcast her entire life. Nor did she ask to be the Anointed of the Nora, the Champion of the Tenakth, the Savior of Meridian, Chieftan of the Banuk, or to have a task bigger than life itself put onto her shoulders.
All Aloy ever wanted… was her mother.
She still wants her mother, even though she knows Elisabet has been dead for over a thousand years.
But what if, somehow, the world finally granted her a boon? A miracle at sunrise on the horizon.

Summary
Seyka has committed the ultimate crime.
After stealing a Diviner’s Focus in an effort to save her people, Petty Officer Seyka is cast out of the Quen. Thrown into the wilds with nothing but her sword and the desperation to stay alive, she journeys east to seek shelter in the bustling settlement the locals call Meridian—away from the spears of the Tenakth and the bloodlust of the rebels.
After months of struggle, death, and grief, Seyka has reached the farthest edge of the Sundom, finally seeing the path to Meridian within her reach.
Until she meets a redheaded huntress in the woods of the Daunt… wielding a Focus.
A complete retelling of Horizon Forbidden West, set in an AU where Seyka joins Aloy at the very beginning of her adventure in Chainscrape.

Short stories of the Forbidden West by MilenaMagdalena

Summary
My first fanfic! A collection of stories about all the people Aloy meets along the way in the Forbidden West. This work includes stories about friendship, romance, smut, drama and more.. The stories follow the plotline of the game.
For context: initially I wanted to name this fanfic 'A heart too big'. Because, well, wherever Aloy goes she connects with people, on different levels and in different ways. So essentially, that's what this whole thing is about.

Summary
Years before the Faro Plague, there was Project Scale. Project Scale involved scientists who took the lives of fifty people in order to make bioweapons. But they weren't ready for when the Faro robots went rogue, and Project Scale was quickly dismissed, leaving the fifty alone for a thousand years, abandoned to the elements.
Until the Eclipse finds their hidden nest, where one awakens to bring chaos into the world.
Aloy doesn't know what to make of the mysterious creature that her Focus says is a wyvern. She's never heard of it, never found anything in the Embrace relating to it. It just appeared in her life, breathing fire on the people who took Rost away from her.
Maybe, these two lost souls can help each other.
AU where Aloy gets a living, breathing wyvern as her companion.

This is something I've been working on for a while, as part of various short crossover stories. The chapters are short, and they'll all be up soon. I might do some side stories, if people end up interested, but those still won't be long.

Summary
“It’s you!” Ared answered happily. “You are Elisabet. My co-architect. The one for whom I am intended.”
Aloy froze, her blood running cold at the name ‘Elisabet’ leaving his mouth so casually. [...]
“Tate?” she whispered, the name sour in her mouth. “Travis Tate? You’re… a clone of the programmer for HADES?”

Six months after the defeat of the Zeniths, HEPHAESTUS is still nowhere to be found, and its absence has started to cause more problems than its presence ever did. Meanwhile, in the months since losing HEPHAESTUS into the Cauldron network, Aloy has become all but consumed with her attempts to find it, to the point of losing track of everything else important to her. Knowing NEMESIS is still on its way to earth, Aloy soon finds herself juggling HEPHAESTUS’ disappearance with preparation for the arrival of the malicious AI—but when a new, even more complicated threat makes itself known, she realizes the things she prepared for are only the tip of the iceberg.
A post-HFW slowburn Aloy/Kotallo friends-to-lovers fic with heavy horror/action elements and myriad original worldbuilding.

Summary
What if various characters from fiction were transported to Pallimustus? What essences would work with them the most?
I am not remaking these characters with the powers from HWFWM but seeing what would work best with their already existing abilities, both mechanically and thematically.

Having just returned from the Burning Shores, Aloy's thoughts revolve first and foremost about preparing for Nemesis.

And as if this wasn't enough, an old friend turns up and Aloy suddenly finds out she knows even less about love than she thought. All of her friends gladly help out with advice — which turns out to be completely contradictory, with the various tribes having very different notions of romance and partnership. Who would have thought social norms and the complexity of actual life aren't always compatible?Researching ancient tech for dealing with Nemesis unearths various helpful bits and pieces. Means of transportation weren't exactly the primary focus — and yet, somehow the re-discovery of railways turns out to have the potential to address a whole bunch of problems.

Summary
She was able to get a proper look at his face now. He was tall, maybe about a head taller than her. With red windswept hair that blazed a polished copper in the sun, much like her own. He had a similar copper stubble across his face as well. His green eyes looked tired but were scanning her every move, ready to react. He was anticipating a fight. She was too.
“Look, I don’t want any trouble.” The stranger said slowly.
“Be nice Aloy,” Sylens warned. Aloy noticed how the stranger's eyes darted to her focus for a split second and then to her bow.
“So you say,” Aloy spoke, keeping her voice steady and her drawstring pulled taunt. “The last time we had unwanted visitors on this planet, they caused a lot more than trouble.”
“Unfortunately, I believe you there. But I promise, I just want to fix my ship and go.”
--
When another unknown spaceship came crashing down on Earth, Aloy expected the worst. She didn't expect to meet a new potential ally with his own slew of galactic problems or to discover the world was much vaster than she ever thought.
